Title: Authentication methods and systems
Inventor: JUSTIN PIKE
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2016-05-27
Abstract: The invention provides a solution for secure authentication of an individual. The invention comprises methods and apparatus for secure input of a user's identifier e.g. PIN. An image of a keypad is superimposed over a scrambled, operable keypad within a display zone of a screen associated with an electronic device. The keypad image depicts a non-scrambled keypad, in that the keys depicted in the image are in an expected or standardised format or order. The difference in positions of the keys depicted in the image, and those in the operable keypad, provides a mapping which enables an encoded form of the identifier to be generated, such that the un-encoded version is never stored in the device's memory. Preferably, the image depicts a keypad which is standard for the device which it is being shown on. The device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, laptop, PC, payment terminal or any other electronic computing device with a screen. The underlying keypad, which is at least partially obscured from the user's view by the image, may be generated at run time by a procedure call. Preferably, this procedure is native to the device ie part of a library which is provided as standard with the device.

Title: Systems and methods for providing access to a data file stored at a data storage system
Inventor: Alissa Feldman
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2017-10-31
Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide access to a data file stored at a remote data storage system. A user device can send a file access request, via a user interface provided by the remote storage server, to the application server to access a data file stored at the remote storage server. The application server can then optionally identify a relevant application for accessing the data file, and send, to the remote server, a metadata-and-content request relating to the data file. The metadata-and-content request includes version information of a previously cached version of the data file cached at the application server. When the cached version is not the latest version, the application server receives the latest version of the data file from the remote storage server. The latest version of the data file is then presented, via the relevant application on the application server, to the user device. The advantage being that devices with smaller local memory are able to access and edit files without downloading them.

Title: Thermal management of vehicle energy storage means
Inventor: MUSTAFA OZCELIK
IPC: H01M10/625
Filed: 2020-05-14
Abstract: A thermal control apparatus 204 is configured for thermal control of an energy storage means 202 (e.g. battery) of a vehicle. A parameter is obtained by a control system 210. The parameter is indicative of a state of health (SOH) of the energy storage means, e.g. a measured variable, such as; capacity, power capability, internal resistance, self-discharge, or charge acceptance of the energy storage means. The control system controls operation of the thermal control apparatus in dependence on a difference between the parameter and a target (e.g. ) If the parameter is below the target, a cooling performance of the energy storage means is increased in dependence on a size of the difference. The cooling performance may increase nonlinearly, as the difference increases. The target may be indicative of an expected SOH and may reduce in association with cumulative energy throughput of the energy storage means, which may be determined in dependence on mileage and/or time and/or charge cycles of the energy storage means. The thermal control apparatus may operate in: a relatively high-power cooling state, in which an energy-consuming thermal control component (e.g. refrigerant system 208) is operated; or a relatively low-power cooling state, in which a fan 206b may be operated and/or an active vane or vent 206a opened.

Title: Continuous motion revolving piston engine
Inventor: GERT-WILLEM HARTMANS
IPC: F02B55/16
Filed: 2019-03-01
Abstract: This invention of a continuous motion revolving piston engine describes a machine comprising piston(s) fitted to rings that revolve around a stator circular base which has a cavity in which a disc fits to create a closed combustion compartment together with the casing. The disc has a disc cavity to allow the piston to pass. The rotation of the disc and piston are synchronized to allow the piston to pass through the disc cavity. As there are no reciprocating parts and optionally enables an oil free operation, it is more efficient and has cleaner exhaust than existing engines.
